[vdawg]

[kirkyboy3]

did you have to take your tyre off mate?? or just spray it on and then peel off what you dont want before it dries??
and how long did it take to dry??

Well.....am very interested in this stuff!! Is it literally applied to a 'clean' wheel? i.e no rubbing prep etc?

Quite good if you want Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Black, Brown, White or Clear... or florescent.

 

[lil3520]

i think you can make up your own colour.

looking at black for my candy white ibiza.

I assume a spray can would be better? How many cans do you think you'd need for 4 wheels?
Main question is, will it stay on when it comes to changing the tyre?

all i done is masking tape my tyre wall and spray on, there is a vid which will be posted this week, i wasa going to do one when doing this wheel but it was a test and i wanna get the info right that i tell people lol

it takes about 10 mins for a coat to dry so u wanna peel the masking tape off your last coat after about 5 mins or it will rip it when u peel off

id say u will do about 3 cans depending on how heavy the coats are

I suppose its not a long term thing but if your thinking about changing your wheel colour but dont want to take the plunge on a refurb incase it doesnt suite the car then this is a good step to see how it would look.

3 cans to do 4 wheels ?

 

[vdawg]

yeah u might be able to use 2 cans but the third can is just so u dont run out lol

looks good but not keen on mat black what about gloss black.

 

[vdawg]

you can buy a gloss that u spray on after the paint has dryed then it turns gloss

 

[alien1974]

it says on the website the surface should be primed first

 

[vdawg]

only prime it if u dont want it to come off

I reckon it'll chip off during road use anyway, but you'll be able to see if the colour suits you.
